Jesse Tyler Ferguson (“Mitch”) and Eric Stonestreet (“Cameron”), two of the stars in the Emmy Award winning sitcom "Modern Family" will be "in conversation" Oct. 21 at 7 p.m. at the Mortenen Hall at Hartford's Bushnell Center for the Performing Arts.

The two actors will "provide an intimate glimpse into the happenings behind-the-scenes of Modern Family, as well as an extensive Q & A with the audience."

The actors play a gay couple in the series, helping to earn a GLSEN Respect Award for "positive images and storylines that reflect a diverse America, including the depiction of a family headed by a gay couple."

The series has received a Golden Globe Award, multiple Emmy Awards, and a Screen Actors Guild Award. Stonestreet is also the recipient of an Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series.

Six of the show's lead actors filed a lawsuit Tuesday in Los Angeles Superior Court to void their contracts. Ferguson, Stonestreet, Sofia Vergara, Ty Burrell, Julie Bowen andEd O'Neill, charge their contracts break California's "7-Year Rule," which prohibits personal services contracts that span longer than seven years. Production on the show's fourth season was to begin this week but now production has been set back.

The actors contend they are barred from roles outside the program without Fox’s consent, restricting opportunities for additional employment.

Scott Galbraith, vice president of programs, says, "The [Bushnell] show is firmly scheduled for October 21. We have no reason to believe their contract talks will interfere with their appearance at The Bushnell."

The Hartford event at the 2,800-seat hall will be moderated by Christine Lee, of "Craig & Company" on 96.5 WTIC
